Many years ago I wrote to a company to do some aluminum control arms do the hotshot... Then one day a package arrived and it was a set of red anodized arms for the hotshot.. I just wish I could remember who the company was... I miss my hotshot.

WOW I love how you do these videos. This brings back so many good memories. The first one I ever had was the Tamiya Grasshopper, then the Hornet, then I got the Hotshot. Then when I started racing I got spanked by an RC10 and came in 2nd place. This was way back in 1984 or 85. Man such good times and great memories. Thanks for these videos.

Congrats for adding this beauty to your collection Glenn! Hotshot is in my top 5 all-time favorite RC car list, and have admired that custom special many times on the groups. Amazing amount of cool kit on it! Looking forward to see it run, and your impression of how all the hop-ups work together vs a standard Hotshot.

Sound to me like you made your mind up regards the painting. Personally, I loved the fact it was blacked out at the rear when I first seen this. Brings more focus to the shell and wing without it being too busy. Anyway, like you said, it is only your time to sacrifice and if you you really want to try it you will regret not doing it. Great video as always. Cheers

Very nice! Please straighten the decals on the side pods-they are hurting my brain! RZ motor is a must, leave the roof (silver might look ok on the cage-maybe source another one and paint it then you can swap them around when you feel like it, they are only original once😁)

That is absolutely gorgeous, I think you should clean it, check it and prepare a fairly gentle but twisty run for it, with a back to back run against the clock run alongside a mildly tuned hotshot. With some of those lovely upgrades it would be great to see the advantages. Whatever you do it's just not worthy of an empty car park run. Its bloodline and tuning really calls for a safe technical circuit. Beautiful car ❤️

Hey glen i just joined the fb group.great video.awesome car.....im all for tricking rcs out to suit the owner.so i personally like the idea of customizing the cage.i can also appreciate leaving it alone to keep it "as it was" but you can always put it back the "way it was". Yeah try painting the cage!!! I bet it works out for ya!!

Awesome car !!

Rear frp shock mount is hotshot hop up, later used on supershot, front shock uprights are hotshot hop ups, later used on supershot, the brace is the added aftermarket part. The colour is red chrome, they also did a blue chrome for the Avante, both shells were Japanese Market only 2018.

Back in the late 80"s I painted the body Bright Pearl White and change the name on the hotshot decals to "NutShot' it was a hit at the track!

one of the best looking models I have seen. enjoy Glenn

Another late review - what a fantastic looking car Glenn, amazing in metallic red. In the 80s when we raced a Hotshot my dad built a similar chassis in fibreglass from a guide in Radio Race Cars/Model Cars Monthly but then fitted it with a fairly rubbish as they are at the time replica body. Would have loved these upgrades back then but most people at the club swiftly moved onto Optimas, RC10s and then the Schumacher Cat (definitely easier to clean with its undertray and snug body shell as we raced in mud often in the UK). Now keen to get a set of alloys for the new Hotshot I'm building for my 8yo.

That thing is Awesome!!!

Superb car with some great attention to detail. Defo yes to oval blocks. Same gun metal springs for the front. If the gearboxes need attention then you may as well replace. Keep the black spotlights as they add to the stealth look. Keep the silver roof as it complements the tower shocks and defo don't paint the roof rails or the driver. Basically the more you paint, the more it distracts from the star of the show, the shell. That all said it's your car so do what you want!

Restore to perfection but nothing more is my vote :) To Ad: Cardon on the roof would look nice.
